Brett said Roger Wacker complained to Erica about the gravel on 460th Ave.
Todd reported on 9/15 Alajoki called and had missed some receipts for Juniper, so we still owe them more. On 9/21 Kenny Rader called regarding Amish parking in the ditch off of 120th St. He asked for permission to put up a No Parking sign. Grant also hauled the fill by Collette culvert today. On 9/22 Grant opened the culvert back up again. On 9/23 Todd placed cattle panels in front of both ends of the culvert. Discovered the beavers were going under them so lowered them down and now seems better. Jeff has set traps again. On 9/25 checked Kenny Rader’s sign. He told Kenny he did a good job. On 9/29 found more garbage in recycling dumpsters. On 9/30 received a call from a Barnesville Tree Service looking for work. We have none at this time. On 10/4 Brett text regarding trees on road by Karl Hanson’s. Todd & Rana went and cut them off.
Todd mentioned more garbage being put in the recycling dumpsters and around the dumpsters and even on the roads. Residents need to understand that the dumpsters can be taken away by the County, so the garbage needs to stop. It also costs the township money when garbage is left by the dumpsters or on the road as we get paid to haul it to the landfill.
Having no further business, Todd made a motion to adjourn. All present in favor.
Respectfully submitted, Rana Holmer, Clerk
